The first microprocessor was the 4004. It could handle 4 bits at a time.
The microprocessor used in the first home computer was the 8080. It could handle 8 bits at a time.
The first microprocessor to make it into a home computer was the Intel 4004. This chip could process 4 bits at one time. -Harry Dingleberry
The 8085 is an 8 bit microprocessor. It cannot directly handle 32 bit data. That said, it is possible to write a routine that can handle 32 bit data, just 8 bits at a time.
As quoted from Google Books, "Word size refers to the number of bits that a microprocessor can manipulate at one time."
queue of 8086 microprocessor is 6 bits
The Altair 8800 is the first microprocessor that I know of that was marketed as a computer. Many other early versions included: Imsai 8080 Franklin Osborn Exidy Commadore Pet The first microprocessor was the Intel 4004, the first computer it was sold in was a development system that Intel called the MCS-4, which stood for MicroComputer System - 4 bits. They also had an MCS-8 about the same time for their 8008 microprocessor.
The question is unclear, but it looks like it meant to ask when the first microprocessor was invented. That was the Intel 4004, invented in 1971. It was the first single chip microprocessor, and the first microprocessor available commercially. The 4004 was a 4 bit processor, with a 12 bit address bus and an 8 bit opcode. Everything was multiplexed, 4 bits at a time, in 8 clock cycles per instruction.
The 8085 is an 8-bit microprocessor. Even though there are some 16-bit registers (BC, DE, HL, SP, PC), with some 16-bit operations that can be performed on them, and a 16-bit address bus, the accumulator (A), the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), and the data bus are 8-bits in size, making the 8085 an 8-bit computer.
8086 is a 16bit processor.
Microprocessors use binary, so all they have is ones and zeros (♪♫...and sometimes we ran out of ones...♪♫) Sorry. The chip notes negative numbers by the leading bit If the chip can handle 8 bits if information, they use the first for the sign (0 is positive, 1 for negative) and the remaining 7 bits for the number from 0 to 127.
None. A microprocessor is a control and datapath strung together with a bag of bits to manage IRQs communicating over some kind of system bus.The PowerPC 405 is a microprocessor.
